With the current state of the 2.3 maintenance branch test_poll fails:
File "/Volumes/Vuur/Users/jack/src/python-23/Lib/test/test_poll.py",
line 171, in ?
test_poll1()
File "/Volumes/Vuur/Users/jack/src/python-23/Lib/test/test_poll.py",
line 65, in test_poll1
poll_unit_tests()
File "/Volumes/Vuur/Users/jack/src/python-23/Lib/test/test_poll.py",
line 77, in poll_unit_tests
r = p.poll()
error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')
This also looks legitimate to me: the test goes to great lengths to
make sure it's passing an invalid file descriptor to poll(). But I
assume there's something deeper going on that I don't understand...
